题目内容

    When you use or take personal tests, what are the factors that lead to job success? There are several personality factors that have been correlated with general success in jobs, although it has also been shown that too much of one factor can cause problems.

    Intelligence

    A number of studies have shown that general intelligence often correlates well with job success. Basically, it means that intelligent people are generally good at jobs. Hire bright people and they will be able to do what you ask of them.

Conscientiousness(责任心)

    Conscientiousness has also been shown by several studies as being highly correlated with job success. If a person is conscientious, then they will work hard to complete work they have committed themselves to do. They can also be left alone without need for constant supervision.

    Openness

    If you are open to experience, you are ready to challenge yourself and learn and welcome feedback from others, then you will not only learn far more, you will also be thought of as a pleasant person by others who will be more ready to work with you. Unsurprisingly, this tends to make people better at jobs.

    Agreeableness

    When paired with conscientiousness, a person who is easy to get on with becomes even more successful in many jobs. Particularly if the work requires working with other people, a person who is disagreeable is not likely to gain good cooperation.

    Extraversion (外向)

    If you are outgoing and get your energy from being with other people, you will probably do better in many jobs than others, especially those that require you to work actively with others, whether in managerial or team environment.

    Other factors have also been shown to be linked with success, although studies showed that these tend to be more related to some jobs more than others, particularly those with more significant social elements.

   A. they can understand their task and do better

   B. they are bright and won’t make the boss angry

   C. they can get on well with the manager

   A. contributed         B. connected          C. contained         D. contacted

62. Those who can work on their own without too much supervision are       .

   A. intelligent           B. conscientious        C. open             D. outgoing

When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!

Here lies the problem for travel writer and tood critic(评论家),Edie Jarolim “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her there books, The Complate Idiot’s Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resarts.

……writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a

Test Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked

for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.

Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arigona.

As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local(当地的)museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.
